- Soil requirements: Red carrot seeds prefer loose, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be free of stones and clumps to allow the roots to grow straight and long.
- Sunlight needs: Red carrots require full sun, which means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the seeds regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure even moisture. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant red carrot seeds is in early spring or late summer. This allows the carrots to mature in cooler weather, which enhances their flavor.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 1 to 2 inches apart. Rows should be spaced about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Germination time: Red carrot seeds typically germinate within 10 to 21 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture conditions.
- Maturity time: Red carrots usually reach maturity in about 70 to 80 days after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest red carrots is in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. This helps to preserve their crispness and flavor.
- Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork or spade to gently lift the carrots from the soil. Avoid pulling them by the tops to prevent breakage. After harvesting, remove the tops to prevent moisture loss and store the carrots in a cool, dark place. For long-term storage, keep them in a refrigerator or a root cellar.
